Ships

186 Belgian ships, by name. Click a column heading to sort differently, by date for instance.

Among them 41 ships for which no crew list survives in this database: those are marked no crew list and have empty columns for date, attacker and crew. They are here because the fleet was more than its losses; what became of each is on her own page. See Sources for what is still missing.
